Attenuation

If you have made all of the above adjustments and your audio still sounds over-modulated (too loud), then your best bet is to turn on attenuation. It’s a switch on the video camera audio panel. If it is off, turn it on.

You can activate the external microphone's attenuator (20 db) if the XLR terminal switch is set to MIC or MIC+48V. Set the ATT switch of the desired channel to ON.
